Anyway, the BWMA calls this metric downsizing. As I stated, people should stop buying small containers of milk. If they do so in Ireland, the pint will die quietly and that seems to be the case, as the large majority of Irish people already buy large metric cartons of milk. I have seen that with my own eyes. Too bad for the IAML!

Even though one would expect the half-litre price of any commodity to be half the one litre price, it is never done. There is always a premium for smaller amounts. So, why is it an issue here? If someone thinks the half-litre price is too expensive, then the consumer should as Han notes, buy the more economical 1 L size. <snip>
